The fact is less than 5000 crew out of around 13,300 went on striek and thats not enough to force BAs hand.
And that was my point - that as it is only BASSA members who are being given a vote, and the majority of BASSA members went on strike, does it not follow that the strikers are in the majority and therefore they will vote accordingly. Either way I don't think that another no vote nor any subsequent action would force BA's hand - I also think that if another strike took place then ST would never be returned unless directed by a court of law as being illegal on the part of BA.

The other problem of course being the apathetic members who choose not to vote at all and who could therefore give former strikers a bigger majority.
